Supporting San Diego’s
homeless community,
the Havas Edge team
joined together just before
Christmas to pack hundreds
of Someone Cares supply
backpacks, which were then
handed out on Christmas
morning directly to those
in need.

The CoreMedia Systems staff
(above) celebrated the company’s
25th anniversary with 900 of their
closest friends on Jan. 18 at New
York’s Gotham Hall. The event, a
charitable fundraiser for the Good
Tidings Foundation, raised more
than $345,000. New York
Yankees’ pitcher C.C. Sabathia
(above right) made a special
appearance to talk about Good
Tidings’ work, while Marc
Roberge of O.A.R. (below

Roots and The Tonight Show)
performed live.
